2022 Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for the Homebody

It’s one of the busiest times of year, and we all have that friend or relative (maybe it’s you) who would rather turn in early and drink a hot cuppa something than whoop it up at a holiday party. For those who love their me-time, who make their homes a serene and stylish oasis, who are secretly happy when you cancel plans with them: here are the best presents.

9 Beautiful Holiday Gifts for People Who Love to Stay Home

A Candle That Can Burn Forever

This clean-burning candle ($50) from Vancouver’s Everlasting Candle Co. never melts, which means no messy cleanup and no wick to cut thanks to its steel construction—but it still has tons of holiday ambiance.

A Cabin-Cozy Slipper

Manitoba-based and Indigenous-owned Manitobah will keep the person you’re shopping for toasty with their Cabin clog ($125)—cozy enough to keep toes comfy all winter and neutral enough to pair well with any outfit (including pajamas).

Streetwear- Inspired Billiard Balls

Whether your giftee is a pool shark or a novice player, these billiard balls ($151)—numbered with the classic Stüssy font—look just as cool racked up as they do after the first break.

A Statement Seat

These simple yet avant-garde Gardian stools ($1,680) from La Manufacture are designed with restraint in mind—available in six colourways, they have a built-in handle to make “pull up a seat” as easily done as said.

A Keepsake Box

Jonathan Adler is known for his mid-century style, but this Sorrento box ($135) takes inspiration from the southwest coast of Italy. The hand-finished pattern brings a sense of oceanic calm while keeping mementos hidden in plain sight.

An All-Weather Bird Feeder

This mouth-blown hanging bird feeder ($82) from Nineteen Ten comes with a drain hole to prevent freezing— so you can get your ornithology on during even the snowiest of days.

A Poster That Gives Back

The minimalist Regenerate Canada poster ($35) from the World Wildlife Fund shows the concentric rings of a tree stump, bringing a bit of B.C.’s iconic old-growth forests indoors. Plus, proceeds of the print support the organization’s conservation efforts.

A Dynamic Vase

Inspired by photographer Carl Kleiner’s 2014 series Postures, the abstract Posture N.3 Africa Black vase from Bloc Studios (from $698) features flowers with rearrangeable metal wires that let you create sculptural shapes.

A Candle Almost Too Pretty to Burn

The chic and displayable Mehen candle ($590) from Gucci is inspired by a water snake—but we think the scent of Persian blue salt, seaweed and water moss will transport you to faraway beaches, no passport required.
